Hiker Chances Upon an Anaconda and Pokes It With a Stick

Snakes are fearsome creatures. Even if they’re non-venomous, it would be smart to stay far away from them. However, a hiker with balls of steel chances upon one anaconda by a riverbank and decides to do what any smart man shouldn’t do: poke it with a stick.

Yes, you read that right. He stops as soon as he sees the giant snake picks up a stick and pokes it while filming the entire ordeal.

And naturally, a bothered or threatened snake will react in a way most of them would do.

With a strike, of course. The hiker has probably learned a valuable lesson that day: Don’t mess with Mother Nature.
